It's the first day playing with Active Reports and I'm trying to embed the Designer into our application.
I have looked at the VB 'End User Design' and it all looks pretty strightforward.
Unfortunately I need to embed the controls into a language called Progress (similar'ish to VB in that the .net controls can just be dropped into to Windows Forms)
I dropped on the Report Designer, a Property Grid and a Toolbox.
I related the Property Grid to the Report Designer which was stright forward because there was a 'Property Grid property of the Designer.
I then wanted to relate the Toolbox to the Report Designer and hoped it would be done in a similar way but there wasn't a Toolbox property.
I tried to do it in the code using Designer1.toolbox = toolbox1
BUT the code designer1.toolbox = ? had already been automatically been placed in the code and caused a syntax (invalid data type) issue. I tried to remove the offendeing line but everytime I do the program just hangs.
I have tried all sorts of different combinations i.e. adding the controls in different order, trying to set the toolbox value before the automatically inserted code but I'm just hitting a brick wall.
I know it's a long shot.....but has anybody any ideas?
TIA

Hi Murray,
Sorry for the frustration! ActiveReports only supports C# and VB.NET, so that is probably the source of the problem.
I have not seen the designer automatically adding toolbox code, but when I documented it, the steps in the walkthrough to add the toolbox worked fine. Here is a link to the walkthrough:

Here is a link to the help file that will allow you to navigate better:

I hope this helps!
Kim

Hi,

No problem, I'm going to continue 'playing' because in theory any .ney component that can can be used in VS should be able to be used in Progress.
I'm also going to have a look at the AR ActiveX component to see if I can have any joy with that.
